Chapter Twenty-Six: Luring the Enemy Deep (Seeking a New Chapter)
Tuta and the others entered the fort with great momentum, only to find that although there were many torches lit on the fort, there was not even a human figure inside!
The castle was still in ruins, and the cold wind whistled through the gaps in the walls, adding to the desolation!
The tents of the Ming army were still there, and there were even kettles burning on the bonfires, and it seemed that they had just retreated.
Presumably, the sentry riders who had escaped just now had told them the news that the army had entered the customs.
At this time, a soldier pointed to the torch in the distance and said: "Niu Lu's forehead is really fast, the Ming army is in front, it should have just run!"
Judging from the tents left at the scene, the number of Ming troops will not be very large, and at most there will be hundreds of horses.
While Tuta sent someone to report the situation in the fort to Dudu, he led a large army to continue the pursuit.
On the hillside in the distance, Li Sanshun said: "It seems that this Du Du is still very cautious, so he sent such a few people." ”
Li Xianzhong said: "I wish that Jianyu would scatter a cow and a cow, Mang Gurtai's blue flag will come soon, Du Du will really send out the whole division, we won't have time to eliminate him, and we will have to be entangled by Jianyu's reinforcements!" ”
The main purpose now is to drag the prisoners so that the other two groups of men can be safely withdrawn.
If it weren't for Yang Hao, a pit goods, who suddenly came to Qinghe Fort, why would he take such a big risk to fight under the nose of the main force of Jianyu now.
It seems that we still have to find a way to make this Liaodong Jingluo slightly replaced, otherwise I will be killed by Yang Hao sooner or later.
However, Yang Hao's "good news" has just been issued, and it will not cause an earthquake in the Ming Dynasty for the time being, and everything will only be handed over to time.
At this moment, Tuta and the others chased after the torches of the Ming army in front, and as they got closer and closer to the Ming army, this group of Tartars also seemed more and more excited!
Before they knew it, they were getting closer and closer to Qinghe Fort.
At this time, Tuta found that the Ming army wanted to retreat to Qinghe Fort, and he couldn't let the boiled duck fly. So he waved his whip fiercely and accelerated his pursuit!
Suddenly, with a terrible roar from the warhorse, he was thrown to the ground.
I saw that the war horse rushing in front of me was tripped by the stumbling rope, and then the bow and arrows in the sky shot towards him, although the armor can greatly reduce the damage of the bow and arrow, there are still many people who are shot off the horse by the bow and arrow.
Finding that there was an ambush ahead, these cavalry hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and as a result, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry appeared behind them.
Under the attack of the Ming army's ironclad heavy cavalry, the Tartars could not resist and fell from their horses one after another.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The Ming troops in ambush on both sides even used three-eyed guns to shoot at them. At such a close distance, these three-eyed guns are still relatively easy to use, and Jianyu's armor can't resist them at all.
The sound of firing guns and the white smoke coming out of it stood out in the darkness.
This was also deliberately done by the Ming army, so that the enemy behind would notice.
Du Du, who followed behind, soon realized that Tuta had been ambushed by the Ming army.
These Ming troops are really cunning, Sanyangyu Fort is just luring the enemy, and actually put the ambush here, fortunately, his main force did not fall into the trap of the Ming army.
At this time, the Zhenglan Banner should have also entered the side wall, and it can support itself at any time, and these Ming troops can't play any tricks.
So Du Du hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, thinking that he was only three or four miles away from Tuta, and the Ming army would definitely not be able to end the battle in a short time.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Tuta's Niu Lu had been basically wiped out by the Ming army, leaving only some seriously injured soldiers lying on the side of the road and groaning in pain.
At this time, they could still vaguely see the figure of the Ming cavalry in the distance, and the angry Du Du hurriedly ordered a pursuit.
At this time, the Eight Banners showed their skillful skills in cavalry and archery, and constantly shot arrows at the Ming army in front. Although they couldn't see clearly ahead, the sound of the Ming army falling from time to time could still be heard.
At this time, the attention of the white flag was all focused on the Ming cavalry in front, and he did not carefully observe the surrounding environment.
The main force of the Ming army did not actually evacuate this ambush point, but only temporarily hid in the nearby woods.
Li Sanshun sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know how long these 50 brothers will be able to contain the Tartars in the end." ”
At this time, Li Xianzhong had 4,000 cavalry in his hands, including 2,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry and 2,000 Southern Route Army cavalry, of which 600 Liaodong Iron Cavalry were temporarily supplemented from the Southern Route Cavalry.
Although the Ming army could also ambush Dudu's white flag, Mang Gurtai's blue flag was not far from them.
Once they fight with the white flag, they will inevitably be flanked by the blue flag that rushes to support.
Therefore, he could only let go of the relatively weak white flag, and changed the target of the ambush to the blue flag that followed and was defenseless.
Manggultai is the fifth son of Nurhachi, and when he was a teenager, he followed his father to conquer the Ula tribe of the Haixi Jurchens, and made many military exploits, which won Nurhachi's trust.
As the Golden Three Baylors, he is in charge of the positive blue flag of 21 bulls.
His status at this time was second only to the Great Baylor Daishan, and even with his military merits and qualifications, he was even stronger than the Four Baylor Emperor Taiji.
With the death of Amin and the casualties of the blue flag with 33 Niu Lu, Mang Gurtai is keenly aware that the political map of Houjin is likely to usher in a major change.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to this opportunity to go on the expedition, his previous performance in Salhu has been highly recognized by his father, and this time he must make persistent efforts to seize this opportunity to perform.
I have to say that the Liaodong border wall of the DPRK is really troublesome, and because they can't walk through the Yahu Pass, they have to go around to the vicinity of Sanyangyu. The mountain roads were rugged, and it was night, so the cavalry movement was very inconvenient.
It took a lot of time for the 6,000 people he led to finally break through the border wall of Liaodong.
Just as he was about to join the white flag and march towards Qinghe Fort, he found that Du Du had already gone to pursue the Ming army.
This made him feel a little unhappy, and it seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to change his status through military exploits.
Obviously, Du Du is thinking too much, and with the estrangement between his eldest brother and his father, it is difficult for Du Du to regain his weight.
No matter who of their brothers succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, it was impossible not to suppress the eldest grandson of the Great Khan.
Despite his displeasure, he still ordered Zhenglanqi to hurry up and catch up.
Du Du's white flag troops are the weakest, and it will not be good if he is ambushed by the Ming army.
Fortunately, the direction of the Ming army's retreat was also Qinghe Fort, which was consistent with the direction of his own march, otherwise Du Du would have delayed the big event this time.
Soon Mang Gurtai came to the place where the white flag had been ambushed before, although it was still night, but with the help of the light of the torches, he could still see the situation in front of him clearly.
On both sides of the road ahead, there were many corpses of soldiers with white flags, and there were enough cattle to see how many of them were.
Obviously, these corpses were cleaned up to this position, which means that Du Du's main force has passed through here safely at this moment and is going to pursue the Ming army in front.
Mang Gurtai immediately realized that something was wrong, it seemed that the white flag was ambushed by the Ming army, he immediately pulled out his sword and shouted: "Speed up, catch up with the white flag, they may be in danger!" ”
